In an amusing twist of fate, a pet owner's attempt to prank his cat with a toy kitten ended up backfiring in a heartwarming way.

The pet dad, Abram Engle, shared a video on Instagram showcasing his cat Kurt's unexpected reaction to the fake kitten. Engle initially intended to confuse Kurt with the toy, but instead, the cat developed a fondness for it, treating the toy as if it were his own offspring.

The video, which has since garnered over 800.000 views and nearly 80,000 likes, features a series of clips showing Kurt's tender interactions with the fake kitten. Engle humorously narrates the unexpected turn of events, explaining how his prank plan backfired, leading to Kurt adopting the toy as his 'son.'

This adorable incident sparked a wave of reactions from Instagram users, many of whom urged Engle to get a real kitten for Kurt. Comments ranged from playful to heartfelt, with one user suggesting,

"Kurt needs and wants a friend. Do it for Kurt!" Another comment read, "Kurt is ready to be a father. You can be Grandpa. Kurt has expressed his wishes. It'd just be cruel to deny him now."

The overwhelming response from the online community reflects a shared sentiment that Kurt, having shown such paternal instincts, deserves a real companion.
